Re: sounds good, but...

The more complex we find things like cells and DNA to be, the more the creationist can observe the evidence and conclude that these didn't assmble and progress without intelligent design. Too many
timely senarios are required for everything to happen by accident.
I've been arguing that complexity is evidebce against design
in the intelligent design thread discussing 'software & evolution'.
As to your last statement, personal incredulity is surely a
poor basis for a line of reasoning.

(because once a statement has been discovered to be true and
factual it no longer requires the assumption that began the investigation),
I thought you were saying that an interpretation of data based upon
an assumption was invalid.
But above you are saying that one starts with an assumption,
collects data, and if the data fits the assumption we claim
the assumption as fact and proceed.
Apart from the obvious point that scientists never claim to have
outright proved something, it sounds like you are arguing
from two different world-views simultaneously.
In one you say it is invalid to conduct an investigation with
a starting assumption and in the other you say that that is
exactly what you do.
If you beleive in sudden creation perhaps you could answer the
thread question and state what you would expect to see in
DNA seqeunces for different animals if sudden creation were
what happened.
